Lyrics
THE LYRICS OF RAGTIME COWBOY JOE AS CITED BY WIKIPEDIA: "As with many popular songs of the era, the verse is often omitted: the refrain's lyrics vary somewhat depending on the performer. (verse) Out in Arizona Where the bad men are, And the only friend to guide you Is an evening star, The roughest and the toughest Man by far Is Ragtime Cowboy Joe. He got his name from singin' To the cows and sheep They say that every night He sings the herd to sleep In a basso voice So rich and deep, A-croonin' soft and low. (refrain) He always sings Raggy music to the cattle As he swings Back and forward in the saddle On a horse That's a syncopated gaiter There's-a such a funny meter To the roar of his repeater. How they run When they hear his gun Because the Western folks all know He's a high-falutin', rootin', shootin', Son of a gun from Arizona, Ragtime Cowboy Joe. (verse) Dressed up ev'ry Sunday In his Sunday clothes He beats it to the village Where he always goes And ev'ry single gal In town is Joe's 'Cause he's a ragtime bear. When he starts a-spieling On the dance hall floor No one but a lunatic Would start a war Because the wise men know His forty-four Would make them dance for fair.[1] Variations include: "Where the bad lands are", "How he sings", "Ragtime music", "That's syncopated gaited/And you ought to hear the meter", "scootin' shootin'" or "rootin' tootin'", "Son of a gun from old Wyoming", or additions of "(A pretty good horse)", "He's some cowboy", and/or "Talk about your cowboy".
